5:02 pm

5:03 pm
what they're moving it to now is basically going up and down the corridor here and it had a police helicopter as you saw in the report for most of today and we don't see any evidence of that now. whatever they're doing, they're doing on the ground right now. >> tom fitzgerald, thank you so much. >> a virginia mother is out on bond after being charged with the death of her son. the police say she left him in a hot minivan all day. ken must have beeny is charged with -- ken murray is charged with with two counts of murder and child neglect. that is murphy in between the two men here walking into court today. she left the son in the mini van all day whole at work in june and didn't realize she left him in the van until her husband called her from day care that evening and told her that ryan was not there. she went to check the van and found the toddler unresponsive and strapped in his car seat still. >> i am surprised that the prosecutor elected to bring the charges literally win two weeks of the child. the family hasn't had a chance

5:05 pm
>> reporter: as an alternate, he said he was not surprised by the not guilty verdict that his fellow jurors handed down to casey anthony. the biggest reason is the testimony of casey's father, george anthony. >> if you remember how they buried their pets, you know, george conveniently forgot a lot of things. you would -- i would remember how i buried my pet. the prosecution didn't meet the burden of proof. we had a lot of reasonable doubt there and -- there was -- they didn't show us the evidence. you know, good enough for a conviction. >> reporter: the public school teacher said the lies that casey told and the testimony by family members leaves him to believe that the anthony family is dysfunctional. as the juror who sat closest to casey during the child, he believes the emotions the defendant showed were true. >> there were times when she would look just staringly, no, blank, excuse me and other times when they were talking

they didn't die because they were -- and they didn't get the help they needed. they have bourne the incredible burden of our wars and we need to doing we can in our power to help them stay strong for themselves, their families and our nation. what does this about-face mean for military families with loved ones who took their own lives? we're hear to -- to hear the policy change from the white house and applaud it. we think it's a step in the right direction and to provide condolence letters for those who died serving. >> we heard the president say more needs to be done to help the war vets coming home after experiencing god knows what. what else do you think the military or government needs to be doing? >> we believe strongly in wrap around care. there is a whole community of support involved like the first lady joining the initiative is reaching out all over the country to people involving and supporting the military families, and we're part of that initiative. this is so much the communities can do to show support for

5:18 pm
that issue in the next session. and the case it will review is from here in the district. npd investigators used a gps device to track antoine jones, a night club owner suspected of running a reg. they got a conviction and it was overturned by the u.s. appeals court when ruled it could not be aboutoused since installed by the warrant. the lawyer is here with us tonight. thank you so much for being with us tonight. in your clients' case, the police used a machine that noted jones eslocation every 10 sections. and that lasted for six months. you said that that is putting a human being under a microscope and that is not right. why is it not right? >> there are two reasons, laura. first of all, we feel the 4th amendment prohibits the police from the warrantless installation of one of those intrucive vices or the preapproval of the magistrate
5:19 pm
or judge who,secondly, we peel the -- feel, the 4th amendment prohibits the police from the warrantless accumulation of information and destroying the information and of this nature and like data information in space and time and what happened -- happened, they had a warrant stalled the gps device and that is not owned by mr. jones but his wife. would that be comparable to running surveillance on someone or an officer that is following someone? he has no expectation of privacy, what the law said? >> and don't agree with that at all. the law said they can follow her in space and time and what they can't do is take a device
5:20 pm
that accumulates data and over time. >> they're plague devil's advocate here. doesn't that warrant police paying close tag to your movement to keep the public safe? what is hard to ask the police to do what they did here originally, get a warrant. you have to understand. the gps device is not a mere sense augustmeting a piece of machinery but a planning device. uh-huh. >> and what it does is surplants the human senses and beyond that, allows the police overtime to accumulate a massive amount of data and in mr. jones' case, over 3,000 information of data. they can survail you and me and whole groups of people. >> and that is one of the concerns among civil libber tearians, arguing they violate, like you said, the 4th amendment and there is a concern that the systems could get into the wrong hands. >> and i suppose that is true.
5:21 pm
we're concerned with law enforcement and the government. the 4th amendment was enacted for the reason. the framers wanted the citizens to be free of government arbitrary infusion and to be sure there is someone neutral to balance the citizens right with the law enforcement right to determine where that crime is committed. >> yeah. >> and to show probable -- probable cause to believe that. >> and they're concerned about this case. we'll be watching it and as you will be. touch for being with us tonight. >> thank you so much. in the uk, disturbing new details in the cell phone hacking scandal. the tabloid paper news of the world is under fire for allegations it tapped into the cell phone voice mail and manipulated messages. at first, the victims were believed to be celebrities and members of the royal family. we learned that the paper may have enter fored with a police investigation of a serial

copsoup. will we end up paying more for our phone? melanie alnwick has more. >> reporter: verizon said it placed the first tier cap at a level most customers won't hit, that is 2 giga beats a month. as more and more wireless companies get rid of theup limited data phones, it will be important for customers to understand how much more data they use. some verizon stores saw a rush of customers on wednesday. people trying to beat the deadline to purchase an unlimited data plan. >> i read in the "wall street journal" this is the last day of the existing contracts and i thought if i was going to do it, i had to do it today. >> reporter: verizon joins at&t in capping the data usage. the plans will start at $30 a month for 2 gigabytes. >> we think this could be harmful to consumers as prices go up and as they may not realize how much datay that using. >> reporter: consumer groups worry that customers who have no idea how much datay that using will end up with bill shock. >> we need carriers to provide
5:32 pm
more transparency with respect to what they're offering and what it means. >> reporter: how much is 2 gigabytes? at&t, which sells a 2-gig plan for $25 a month, said that is the equivalent of 10,000 texts and 1500 e-mails plus 4,000 web page views and 500 photo uploads and 200 minutes of youtube video streaming. tv shows and movies hog the most data and some can burn through your plan. according to ctia, the wireless soccer data usage is exploding. >> 2 1/2 years ago, the hottest- selling handset in the united states was a flip phone n. 2 1/2 years, we have gone from flip phones to smartphones and tablets and from more or less to basically zero applications and to over a million applications. >> reporter: carriers are figuring out the best way to regulate the traffic on the information superhighway. >> and there is more usage by the cures and there is not a
5:33 pm
lot of spectrum and that is an equation that concerns us. >> reporter: either way, it's up to customers to get smart about their smartphone data usage. >> some companies will alert customer when is they're close to the data limits and there are tools on the phone and online where customers can check the data uses and we'll have some up on the website. >> and this seems like it can be really, really confusing. consumers decide which plan is best for them? >> i have to sayness isy started looking into this, the information is better than it had been. one thing you can do is go online and read an smat of what a particular customer might use and it's's good idea idea to start with a conservative plan and also, if you have that wifi obligation, use that the when you can and avoid streaming a lot of video. >> good advice there. thank you, melanie alnwick. apple may have been bitten
